A strand of silk-like black hair gently landed on the jade-like hand. When the wind blew, the hair caressed the back of the hand.
“Meow!
“Meow–”
From time to time, the happy and soft meowing of a cat could be heard in the carriage. It was sometimes long and sometimes short, sometimes high and sometimes low, adding a sense of leisure and joy.
“Long live, long live!”
After the cheers, a young man in green quickly walked to the side of the carriage. A corner of his black inner robe was revealed at his collar. He leaned against the carriage and reported softly, “Master, he has been beheaded.” There was a long silence in response to the young man in green.
His silence was so long that the young man in green thought that he wouldn ‘t receive any response. Suddenly, an indifferent male voice came from the carnage.
“Let’s go.”
His voice was ethereal and clear, as if it came from the clouds and green mist at the peak of Mount Tai.
The curtains fell, blocking the red sleeve embroidered with clouds.
The young man in green responded in a low voice. His expression and tone were very respectful.
Just as he was about to board the carriage, he heard the driver say in a deep voice, “It’s Second Lady Gu! ‘
“Meow!” An excited cat meowed in the carriage.
“Second Lady Gu?” The young man in green patted the coachman’s shoulder.
‘Where is she?”
“In the Rongxiang Teahouse ahead.” The coachman pointed to a teahouse on the right with his right hand holding the horsewhip.
The young man in green looked up and saw a familiar side profile behind a window on the second floor of the teahouse from 10 feet away. She was smiling faintly and was incomparably beautiful.
At the same time as the coachman finished his last word, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted from the inside.
Xia Houqing, who was dressed in a bright red shirt, alighted from the carriage with a look of disdain. His bright red shirt shone dazzlingly under the sunlight, as if his appearance had added some beautiful colors to the surroundings.
“Meow–”
He was holding a five to six-month-old long-haired calico cat in his right hand. He pinched the back of the cat’s neck with two fingers. The cat’s four claws waved in the air, and its green cat eyes were wide open.
When the young man in green saw this scene, his eyes widened slightly as he silently looked at Xia Houqing in condemnation.
It was as if he was saying, ‘Master, yoWre so rough!!!’
Xia Houqing gritted his teeth as his red and demonic lips curled into a cold and stiff smile.
He coldly glanced at the young man, who was looking at the soft and cute kitten in a daze. He wanted to say that if he was tired, he could help carry the cat instead.
Xia Houqing pursed his thin lips even tighter and quickened his pace towards the Rongxiang Teahouse by the street. His tall figure exuded a sense of frustration.
The young man in green jumped off the carriage and chased after him.
Carrying the cat, Xia Houqing strode into the Rongxiang Teahouse and went up the stairs to the second floor.
The waiter at the back shouted, “Sir, the private seats on the second floor are
“Sir, are you looking for a friend?”
Xia Houqing ignored the waiter and quickly floated to the end of the corridor on the second floor like a red cloud.
“Bang!’
Without knocking, he rudely kicked open the door of the private room. The waiter exclaimed in shock.
There were two people sitting in the private room. One was dressed in white, while the other was dressed in purple. They sat facing each other across the table.
The young master in white was pouring wine for the girl in purple. Even though the door was kicked open, the young master’s hand was still very steady, and the wine didn’t spill at all.
Gu Yanfei leaned against the window casually. When she heard the sound, she looked in the direction of the door. Her eyes lit up, and she beamed.
‘Qing Guang!’
Almost at the same time she shouted, the calico cat was thrown out by that beautiful right hand.
‘Your cat,” Xia Houqing said impatiently.
“Meow!” The cat stretched its limbs in mid-air and “flew” towards Gu Yanfei’s embrace like a swallow returning to its nest. Its posture was so graceful and agile that it landed in her hands.
It was soft to the touch.
Gu Yanfei touched the cat’s soft abdomen and knew that the cat had gained weight after being kidnapped for seven days.
Seeing that they seemed to know each other, the waiter at the back silently retreated.
“Meow, meow!” The cat was in a good mood and happily rubbed its cheek against her palm.
Its clear eyes narrowed into two small crescent moons. Its long fur was glossy and smooth, looking even finer and softer than the best mink fur. It shone beautifully under the sunlight from the window.
Around the cat’s neck was a small red bib embroidered with cloud patterns. On its back was a small backpack the size of a fist. It was the same color and embroidered with cloud patterns..
